I am seriously behind on writing posts for my blog so just clearing
some out some of the December photos with brief descriptions…
Last summer I had bought some waffle bowls for ice cream but nobody
liked them and they were just going stale in the cupboard. I decided
they could be put to use as ‘gingerbread’ houses for the toddlers.
We simply used cereal for decorations and ‘glued’ the pieces on by dipping them in icing.Some chose to make a ‘hat with a pompom’The bowls were fragile so if you used too much decorating force you created a ‘bear cave’Some chose to create… a bowl for their cereal LOL
Everyone seemed to really enjoy this activity and because process is
much more valuable than product I was fine with our non-traditional
gingerbread houses until…my husband came home and said ‘Cool, you made
yurts’. Huh, I should have thought of that.
Of course in December we also had to take advantage of my school bus
driver husband being off work and able to do fire duty (it is too risky
for me to watch both toddlers and fire by myself). We didn’t cook our
whole lunch on the fire as we have in the past but bannock cooked on the fire is sooo good.
Add homemade Christmas Jam supplied by one of the children’s parents…and we don’t care how cold it is..mitts are off and it is time to eat!
